One of the most surprising announcements from today's Apple shindig (at least to me) was the iFund from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. This $100 million fund will invest in companies, large or small, that want to develop innovative apps for both the iPhone and the iPod touch.Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

Can I somehow leverage this to get them to give me the $99 to test out random demo code I find on the intern--I mean, that my Indie Dev Company, Macroy Productions, develops completely on its own?

You can test code all you want. The SDK is free.
